Analysis

With the World Championships moved to the month of August for 2023, the men’s La Vuelta now remains as the last big reference -together with the Italian fall classics- for the fans of WorldTour racing. The Spanish grandtour will see the Movistar Team line up for an unmatchable 44th consecutive appearance, with their everlasting aim at winning the GC – while not ruling out any stage ambitions.

Catalan roads will be the venue for the opening part of the race, with a team time trial in Barcelona to start (Saturday 26th), an exciting finish up Montjuïc on stage two (Sunday 27th) and a bunch sprint in Tarragona on day four (Tuesday 29th). Between those, the first batch of mountains will loom on stage three, over Ordino (Cat-1 + B) and the hill-top finish of Arinsal (Cat-1) in the Principality of Andorra (Monday 28th).

Mixed between the expected bunch sprints in Burriana (Wednesday 30th) and Oliva (Friday 1st September) will be three mountain stages still on week one. Riders will climb to Javalambre (Cat-1) on Thursday 31st, make a return to the grueling Xorret de Catí (Cat-1) on Saturday 2nd and appear for the first time at the Alto de la Cruz (Cat-2) in Caravaca (Sunday 3rd).

A 26km ITT in Valladolid after the first rest day, on Tuesday 5th September, will open a second week again full of mountain-top finishes. La Vuelta will return to the Laguna Negra de Vinuesa (Cat-1), a one-climb prelude -together with the sprint, wind permitting, of Zaragoza (Thursday 7th)- to the Queen stage of this year’s race (Friday 8th): a brutal trio with the Aubisque (HC), the rather-unknown Spandelles (Cat-1) and a legendary finish atop the Col du Tourmalet (HC).

The third weekend of the race will get the Movistar Team to their home roads in Navarra. Saturday 9th, the peloton will climb Hourcère (HC), the brutal Larrau (HC) and finish in Belagua (Cat-1), will Sunday 10th (stage 15) will see them finish in Lekunberri -where the Emakumeen Nafarroako Klasikoa usually ended- after two ascents of Zuarrarrate (Cat-2).

The magnificent, traditional north of Spain will have its big load of protagonism again this year, starting on Tuesday 12th with the short, steep Bejes (Cat-1) in an explosive, 120km stage 16. A day later (Wednesday 13th), the legend of the race will again be created in Asturias, with Colladiella (Cat-1), Cordal (Cat-1) and the impossible L’Angliru (HC) to end, with its maximum slopes of 23.5%. To all but end the mountains in the 2023 La Vuelta, riders will take on the Cruz de Linares (Cat-1) on Thursday 14th, with two climbs -the first of those including a Bonus- preceded by San Lorenzo (Cat-1) and two other categorized climbs.

We mentioned that the mountains were all but over – yet on Saturday 16th, to decide the race, one of those stages where everything is possible will be held in the Community of Madrid. Ten (!!) rated ascents, 208km and no respite from Manzanares el Real to a final loop – remembering the recent Spanish Nationals- around Robledo, San Lorenzo and the finish in Guadarrama will seal the fate of the race.
